Katie Price breaks silence in Instagram video after swerving latest bankruptcy hearing

Katie Price returned to Instagram hours after her bankruptcy hearing today, which she did not attend.

The former glamour model and her struggling finances were the subject of a short hearing at a specialist insolvency and companies court on Friday.

The meeting, which Katie did not appear at and was not represented, was held after previous public examination over her bankruptcy repayments were postponed.

Katie was declared bankrupt in November 2019.

Hours after the hearing took place, Katie was on her 'memorabilia' Instagram page to sell some of her used items.

Posing from the living room of her mucky mansion, Katie told fans 'quality riding boots, wellies and chaps' were all available to buy.

"DM or email for info and don't forget you can send in requests of your looking for," she told her followers with a kiss emoji.

Earlier today a judge said the reality star will face questioning over her finances after being declared bankrupt four years ago.

Katie was accused of breaching a payment agreement.

Barrister Darragh Connell told the court: “We are now at the stage were this matter needs to be expeditiously dealt with."

Judge Paul Greenwood said the hearing where Ms Price would be questioned over her finances would be listed for the first available date after July 21.

Judge Greenwood said that “it seems right, indeed inevitable” to list the one-day examination “as soon as the court can accommodate”.

During an appearance on Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show in March this year, Ms Price discussed her bankruptcy and how she had been struggling with her mental health in recent years.

“You shouldn’t be ashamed if you have a bankruptcy because for different reasons people go into bankruptcy,” she said.

“I went through a really, really tough time the past three years, mental health and this and that.

“And when you go through that, you might get bills through and you put everything to the side because you can’t cope with anything.”

During a previous court hearing in October 2020, Ms Price apologised to the court, adding: “I just haven’t been able to deal with these issues or in the right mental state to understand everything that has been going on.”

She also said creditors and officials may think her engagement with them is “too little too late” but that the “progress is real” and she had provided financial information.
